Easter Egg Raffle!

We raised lots of money for the Good Shepherd Appeal with our Easter Egg Raffle. Thank you to all the teachers for donating the eggs.

Multi-Faith Exhibition

What an amazing afternoon! The children presented their learning from their multi-faith study last week in a huge exhibition in the school hall. They brought their building models and displayed their  writing and paintings. They made posters and powerpoints.  A group from each class came to answer questions and talk to visitors about their work. A wonderful way to share their knowledge. Thank you to everyone who came and especially the parents who cooked some favourite dishes to share.

Multi-Faith Week

Check out the class blogs to see how the children got on visiting places of worship around Birmingham.

Thank you to our new governor Mr Jabal, who came in to talk to Year 1 about Sikhism.

 

Confirmation Sleep Out

Here are our Confirmandi at their sleep out in aid of the homeless. It was an evening of great debate, song writing and prayer.

…and they even got some sleep before a quick breakfast and then out for a litter pick before class.

Vocations

Who is God calling you to be?

Year 3 and 4 learning about the Presentation Sisters from Sister Eleanor and Sister Catherine. Is vocation an every day thing? How do you recognise God,s voice?
Fantastic questions from Year 4. What would your answers be?

Thank you to everyone who has supported the ReachOut Project over the last two years. It was great to look back and remember the highlights at the coffee morning. Thank you to Mrs Halloran for all her hard word and dedication in harnessing the community spirit in Nechells!

Caritas in Action

Year 3 and 4 read Charlotte’s Web in class. After reading all about life on a farm, they went to visit Ashend farm and then decided to raise money for a community which did not have enough to eat. They supported CAFOD World Gifts to buy some fish and some chickens. Here they are opening the cards from CAFOD.

The Story of Equiano Olaudah Told By Year 5

Thank you to our Year 5 class for a really powerful assembly  all about the life and achievements of Equiano Olaudah. Their presentation was stunning, leaving the whole hall appalled by the horrors of slavery but also with a strong sense of optimism about how each one of us can be a force for good in the world.

Here is the final song
